Same here. I've passed on a few jerseys because I want to be able to wear them every now and then, and the signature ruins that...usually. All of my game-used unis are sans-sig. Modern signatures on vintage flannels are just plain wrong.

I'd be all over your chair if I had the room and the finances right now. You mention there is damage and possible restoration -- that could be scaring people away.
Anyway, I think it's a cool piece!

Brock, I agree with Greg - it looks good with the added paint. I wouldn't add paint to such a piece, but it's there now. I have no idea as to affect on value - it would be interesting to hear from someone who is in the market for such an item.
